Lunch/Breakfast on the run is a problem most of us face in our busy lives and I have been experimenting with my pastry free quiche to make a tiny version which I can put in hubby's lunch box or grab on my way out of the door - these are the result - you can put anything in them - just like the quiche - these ones are cheese and tomato and come out at 25 calories each and will live in the fridge quite happily for a couple of days - they taste great hot or cold!
Ingredients - make 12 in a little muffin tray
3 eggs
20g low fat grated cheese
60ml water (1/4 cup)
4 cherry tomatoes - sliced into 3
fresh herbs/salt/pepper
Grease the mini muffin tray and preheat the oven to 150C.
Whisk together the eggs and water and add in the herbs and salt and pepper - mix well
Divide the mix between the muffin tray - evenly in each one.
Place a slice of cherry tomato into the centre of each one
Divide the cheese between them
Put in the oven and cook for 10 - 12 minutes until set.
When you take them out they will be puffed up but as soon as you take them out they will shrink and flop - they are meant to do this.
Allow to cool in the muffin tray before running a knife round them and removing each bite - allow to cool fully and then put in the fridge or eat warm!

About Me
I love to cook - not in a fancy resturant style but in a home cooked feed the family kind of way.I have been cooking since I was a child and come from a long line of women who believed in sharing love by cooking good food - in fact it came as a shock to me to discover that you could BUY cakes!!!
When I got married I aquired not only 1 husband whose idea of a balanced meal was a big mac AND fries but a brother in law with Aspergers who was desperate to be independant and cook real food for himself and when I started trying to teach him it has made me take a long hard look at recipes, how they are written and what assumptions they make.
When I decided that I would like to write a blog I thought you should write them about something you love so I decided to write about food, share the recipes I grew up with, those favourites I have added to my battered old box of recipe cards as well as my experiences teaching K how to cook!
I hope you enjoy it
